I was wondering the same thing... to manage a website like this, you would actually need to source the failed rumor.... otherwise, aren't you doing the same thing as you're suggesting Rob Rossi does?

Guys like this are why I stay away from things like twitter. "The pens MAY be looking to trade neal or kunitz". Yeah, they also MAY be looking to donate a prospect to the chinese space program to be the first hockey player on mars. Hundreds of people with no sources making up a bunch of crap and somehow getting paid for it. I can stand the wait until something actually happens.

Now THIS would be a great rumor. I'd respect Rossi if he came up with something as imaginative as this.

I wish every journalist/blogger/reporter had such a website. Its one thing to share a rumor, but if its way out there, please please please dress it up for what it is. If its something grabbed off some other unconfirmed site, link to it, don't make it appear more than it is.

Because under the CBA rules, the Stars can't offer Malkin anything because he's still under contract with Penguins through next season. If it was July 1st or 5th next season and there was no contract between Malkin and the Pens, then the Stars can offer that ridiculous contract to him.

So, to answer that question, the offer never happened so there is no way that Malkin could even turn it down.

I never said he was perfect, but if someone is going to bag on him, it should at least be for something he actually did. And while I agree that it's a ridiculous notion, he's not the only person commenting on it:
